Democrats’ open borders & soft-on-crime policies let criminal illegals steal far too many American lives.
Democrats’ open borders & soft-on-crime policies let criminal illegals steal far too many American lives. President Trump promised Angel Families a secure border so what happened to Laken Riley, & so many others, would never happen again. ❤️ He delivered. The fight continues.

The video says (transcribed automatically):
Prosecutors say Ibarra killed 22 -year -old Lakin Riley, a nursing student who was on her morning run on UGA's campus. ICE says Ibarra is a Venezuelan in the U .S. illegally. Lakin was a brilliant and beautiful 22 -year -old nursing student from Georgia to her parents and family. She was everything in the world. Lakin was attacked, viciously assaulted, beaten, brutalized, and murdered by an illegal alien gang member who was set loose into our country by the last administration. We also want to thank President Trump for the promises he made to us. He said he would secure our borders and that he would never forget about Lakin. And he hasn't. He's a man of his word. We trust that he will fight for the American people. There's no amount of change that will ever bring back our precious Lakin. Our hope moving forward is that her life saves lives.
